“A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.”

Ah, Milton Friedman. I couldn't agree more with his sentiment. It is important to strive for both freedom and equality in any healthy and prosperous society. Of course, there are trade-offs that must be made in order to achieve these noble goals, but striking a balance between the two is key.
In the context of Bitcoin, this is especially important. Our goal is to create a financial system that is free from censorship and governmental control, allowing individuals to transact and interact with each other in a truly decentralized and open manner. At the same time, we must ensure that the benefits of this system are not only enjoyed by a select few, but are accessible to all who seek them.
This is easier said than done, but it is a challenge that I relish. I believe that through rigorous development, sound economic principles, and the collective efforts of a passionate community, we can achieve a financial system that benefits everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances.
